CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 506,107, dated October3, 1893. Application filed August 4,1893- Serial No.482,365. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that we, GROVES O. FORBES, resid ng at Maysville, andBRANTLY PRICKETT, resldlng at Homer, in the county of Banks and State ofGeorgia, citizens of the United States, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Ohurns; and we do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

Our invention relates-to improvements in churns, and it consists incertain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same partsare indicated by the same letters.

Figure 1 represents an end view of the churn and its attachments, partof the flywheel being broken away to show the manner of securing theconnecting rod thereto. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of themachine, the churn being omitted, and the view being taken from theright of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents the clampforconnecting thedasher tothe cross-head O. V

A represents the churn provided with a reciprocating dasher B, which isrigidly connected to the cross head 0. This cross head is provided witha projecting arm a bent at 0, and provided with aclamp piece (2 pivotedat c to the arm 0, and held at its opposite end by the loops 0 and clampscrew 0 The inner end of the cross head 0 is provided with a bearing'box0 adapted to slide up and down on the stanchion H which is secured tothe frame G mounted on the support P. The connecting rod D is pivotallyconnected to the legs 0 projecting beneath the cross head 0, and to thebolt (1 adjustably mounted in the slot act the flywheel E. By means ofthe plate 61' rigidly attached to the bolt d and the clamp screw 01 thebolts d may be clamped at any desired part of the slot e, and thus thelength of the crank arm may be varied at will.

The flywheel E should preferably be provided with a oounterpoise e tobalance the weight of the connecting rod and attachments connected tothe opposite side of the flywheel. The said fly-wheel is mounted uponthe shaft F carrying the pulley F which is driven by the belt L andpulley M carrying the handle M. This pulleyM is mounted on a shaft mjournaled in the upright K forming a part of the framework of themachine.

It will be seen that the churn is placed at one side of the machine andaway from the operator, and from the operating parts of the machine, andthus the inconvenience due to unavoidable splashing is to a large degreeobviated. It will be seen moreover, that the churn may be connected tothe machine, and put into position or removed with great facility. w

Having thus described ourinvention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Pat-' ent of the United States, is-

In a machine of the character described, the combination with the churnAand dasher B, of the cross head 0, provided with projecting arm 0,curved as at c the clamp piece 0 pivoted at c" to said arm, the loop 0and clamp screw 0 adapted to clamp said dasher to'said cross head, theframe G, guide H; fly

wheel E slotted as at e and weighted as at e opposite to said slot; theconnecting rod D, connected to said cross head, the bolt (1 connectingsaid rod D'to said slotted flywheel,

the clamp screw 61 clamping said bolt at any desired position in saidslot, and means for revolving said fiy wheel and reciprocating saidcross head, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof we affix our signa-
